Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar, part of a company co-owned by New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, is planning an expansion into Beaumont, the company announced Wednesday.

The franchise, based in Baton Rogue, touts Cajun-inspired fare served by waitresses they call "America's Cheerleaders."

The bar has "a huge selection of draft beer and creative cocktails, friendly attentive service and a fun atmosphere," said franchise operator C.O. Vallet, who also operates the Walk-On's in Lake Charles. "There's nothing like it in Beaumont, and I can't wait to open our doors and begin serving the people of this great city."

Vallet did not disclose where in Beaumont the bar and restaurant will be located.

ESPN named Walk-On's the "No. 1 Sports Bar in North America," in 2012, according to a nola.com story..

In 2015, Brees and his wife bought in to Walk-On Enterprises as co-owners, with plans to help "expand the brand across the nation," according to the company's website.

In addition to the Beaumont location, Walk-On's, which already has 10 locations, is planning restaurants in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Tyler.
